Toshiba Chromebook now on Amazon for preorders

We’ve known about the Toshiba Chromebook for a few weeks now, ever since an accidental pre-CES leak, and now it’s real.Retail giant Amazon is now taking preorders for the much anticipated Chromebook, which was officially unveiled in Las Vegas two weeks ago.

Specs include:

Intel Celeron 2955U 1.4GHz processor

2GB DDR3 RAM

16GB Solid-State Drive

13.3-inch Screen with Intel HD Graphics

1366 x 768 resolution

9.0-hour battery life

802.11bgn WiFi

2 USB 3.0 ports

3.3 pounds, 8.90 x 12.90 x 0.80 inches

While there’s nothing too new or revolutionary here, this is still shaping up to be a great option for those who want something in between the existing 11.6 and 14-inch options. I did get a chance to play around with it a little at CES, and overall I’d say it looks to be a worthy buy, especially at the low price of $279.

FYI @att we've been messed up north Nashville and South Nashville with about 40% packet loss but perfect connectivity to next hop. for most of the morning. Been on with support who shows no outages anywhere (even though downdetector and your twitter tend to indicate outages)
